Is there a thread relating to stance with a show n tell of what susspension, wheels, ride hieght and off sets people are running? If not would it be possible to start such a thread make it a sticky so people can get an idea of what they need to do to achieve the stance they want?

Just a thought. Apologies in advance if such a thread already exists n I missed it.

Not sure if a thread like this exists.
Having one as a sticky is a good idea.
I'm sure a chap with more knowledge will be along shortly.

there's a few, use the search function,

"stance" is a bit of a dirty word on here with some, if need be try the zone facebook page,
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Yeah I know how you feel about the whole stance scene it's not my bag slammed "hood rides" with stupid negative off sets. I was just thinking more along the lines of what a 40 40 drop would look like as a pose to a 40 60 drop while running wheels within the et15- 30 rerecommended. Just thought it would be nice to compile a list with pics of what set ups e30 zone members are running so any one with taste would have a starting point to guide them. Perhaps using stance was not the best just couldn't think of a better word to describe it.

I'm sure there was a guy on here who was going to write a comprehensive guide to "stance"

Drop him a P.M and see if he can point you in the right direction...

I'm amazed his special senses haven't picked up on the word stance being used.

Perhaps he's got lost in the scene while trying to research and write a full guide :?

Howabout trying titles like suspension setups, lowering my car, phrases that have been suffice and get the point across ok for the past 50 years. We used to say well i still do that a car sits nicely. I guess thats not cool enough.

"Stance" means skinny jeans, wolly hats with a t shirt on in the summer, smoking rollies and lots of other annoying features that make you look sick

Looks like you have the wrong tyres fitted? They are so big they are almost standard :mad:
